How do we get rid of our pores?

How do we get rid of our pores?
It really would be best to go see your doctor - don't waste your time with over the counter stuff as getting something on prescription will be much more effective.





Your doctor can offer a number of treatments. Antibiotics or topical treatments like benzyl peroxide will kill the P.acnes bacteria on your skin (but if you only have blackheads and not red spots then P.acnes is probably not the problem for you). Retinoids are available which affect cell turnover and will therefore help to stop your pores getting blocked. I use a topical Retin A gel (also called tretinoin) which I'd definitely recommend - this is the only treatment I have tried that actually got rid of my blackheads. It is possible to use more than one treatment which may help you to get a better result. Just remember that with anything you try you need to allow at least a month to see significant results - if what you've tried hasn't worked then go back to your doctor and ask for something else - everyone is different but there will be a treatment that works for you.





I've also heard of people using mandelic acid as a blackhead treatment - I know very little about it but it may be worth looking into.





Don't overdo cleaning your face - use something that is mild and for sensitive skin - as drying out your skin by using harsh cleansers (or even by using very hot then very cold water) will only stimulate the glands in your skin to produce more oil - and its oil and dead skin cells that block the pores and form a blackhead.





Also, try to resist touching your skin.





Best of luck :)How do we get rid of our pores?
Fill your bathroom with steam, running hot water. Then exfoliate your face with warm water. The heat opens your pores so the bacteria inside can be cleaned away. Then wash your face in cold water. This shrinks your pores.


Then, tone with whichever toner you use. If you don't use one, start. Just ask the people at the drugstore.


Only exfoliate once a week, but tone after every time you wash.
I would try any over the counter cream or face wash with salicylic acid in it. The medicine exfoliates your skin and helps take off dead skin cells to open your pores so the junk that makes up blackheads will come out.
Wash your face using hot water and add some tea tree around your nose. I dont think they will 100% go, but it will look much clearer!
